In past years they have done a much better job-this was a very unprofessional segment-if they had added a minute to this segment no-one would have minded the show overrunning by 31 minutes-it was very disrespectful.</p>Thalia commented on 'The making of the Oscars' 'In Memoriam' segment'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c630a53ef01310f7ec5f2970c2010-03-09T04:42:51Z2010-03-09T04:42:51ZThalia3/4 of the selections are male.

How about halving the amount of time they spend on ridiculous and largely unfunny opening monologues, NPH&#39;s fun but unnecessary song and dance gig, and a tribute to horror movies for what reason again?. The bottom line is that the decision makers at the Academy are a bunch of snobs, and leaving Farrah out was a deliberately determined omission. </p>ron commented on 'The making of the Oscars' 'In Memoriam' segment'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c630a53ef01310f7b8b39970c2010-03-08T16:18:48Z2010-03-08T16:18:48ZronI wonder why Arthur Canton, Public Relations, was included, but Maurice Jarre (9 Oscar nominations and 3 wins) and Henry...<p>I wonder why Arthur Canton, Public Relations, was included, but Maurice Jarre (9 Oscar nominations and 3 wins) and Henry Gibson (nominated for his work in Nashville) were not. </p>MDEpstein commented on 'The making of the Oscars' 'In Memoriam' segment'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c630a53ef01310f79b562970c2010-03-08T08:29:18Z2010-03-08T08:29:18ZMDEpsteinI can't believe they left out Farrah Faucett either.

Last year was cool when Queen Latifah sang live as the montage rolled, but the director made the mistake of wide shots that didn&#39;t allow the viewers to see who was on screen</p>Paula commented on 'The making of the Oscars' 'In Memoriam' segment'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c630a53ef0120a8f97542970b2010-03-04T13:36:36Z2010-03-04T13:36:36ZPaulaThey could leave out some of the technical people - the public doesn't know them - or do split screen...<p>They could leave out some of the technical people - the public doesn&#39;t know them - or do split screen for them. The year George Harrison, Carroll O&#39;Connor and Aaliyah died was the worst! They showed the same people twice! Aaliyah made one film, was known to only a handful of RB fans but I am sure was included only because she was a protege of Quincy Jones (an Academy member)</p>jayalb commented on 'The making of the Oscars' 'In Memoriam' segment'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c630a53ef01310f5cb11e970c2010-03-04T01:38:07Z2010-03-04T01:38:07ZjayalbI agree with them on Dirty Dancng for Patrick Swayze, but his zest for life got me when he went...<p>I agree with them on Dirty Dancng for Patrick Swayze, but his zest for life got me when he went skydiving out of the plane (no CG!) in point Break.</p>Eve commented on 'The making of the Oscars' 'In Memoriam' segment'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c630a53ef0120a8f3ecdf970b2010-03-03T20:55:01Z2010-03-03T20:55:01ZEveI will never forgive those bozos for leaving out Anita Page last year--she starred in the first Oscar-winning talkie fer...<p>I will never forgive those bozos for leaving out Anita Page last year--she starred in the first Oscar-winning talkie fer goodness sake!</p>
